*NOTE: You should not be able to pull out or twist the coax cable when the connector is fully seated and tight.

| a) |
Using alcohol and a Q-tip, clean and inspect all coax connector ends. Replace and tighten, cleaned connectors.

(Do not use pliers of any kind to tighten these connectors.) Using a 5/16" open end wrench, ensure the tightness of the two SMA connectors on the duplexer.
